heads markham fairs executive team mac cosburn the 1979 markham fair president is following in his fathers footsteps macs father was a fair board director for 32 years and mac has been active on the board for 12 the board of directors consists of six junior and 24 senior directors as well as three past presidents almost 40 committees consisting of 300 people report to the board many committees have a director as their chairman the president acts as a conscience making sure things get done mac says the name president is a misnomer it should be chairman because my job is one of management by committee rather than management by authority its more good will and a role of co ordination mac attributes most of the success of the fair to community support volunteers from the area help out with the fair in many different ways i dont think there is any other organization that can put up 300 people from a community its a good community effort he said one example of community support is the service dubs which participate in the fair each year for many of these clubs the markham fair is their major fund raising activity for the year attendance at the fair this year providing there is good weather should be better than ever mac hopes it will draw at least 50 per cent of its crowd from areas south of markham last year 75 busloads of kids came from scar borough for many of the children the fair was their only contact with farm animals the fair plays a major role as a meeting place and an educational forum for the people of the south its their only contact with the agricultural com munity added the president as for the future of the fair mac says ft can only get bigger and better this is a tremendous facility as far as space size and flexibility and there is a lot we can do with it yet the one thing to emphasize is that the markham fair is an effort of a great many people its the only working together that gets it together the president only greases the wheel you have to depend on the rest of the group be concluded mens 2 pc our from 7th line north of hwy 7 2941106 markham in search of lost parents
